Listen to me, children of the Bright Country, And hear the great deeds of ages past. The words I speak are those of my father And his father before him, Pure and full of truth. For we are griots. Centuries of law and learning reside within our minds Thus we serve kings with the wisdom of history, Bringing to life the lessons of the past So that the future may flourish. Listen, then, to the story of Sundiata, the Lion King, Who overcame all things to walk with greatness -The Epic History of Sundiata, King of Old Mali According to this article Disney's "The Lion King" comes from the story of the founding of the Mali empire Abstract: eric.ed.gov "David Wisniewski's 1992 picture book version of the African epic of "Sundiata, Lion King of Mali" and the actual historical account of the 13th century Lion King, Sundiata, are both badly served by Disney's "The Lion King." Disney has been praised for using African animals as story characters; for using the African landscape as a story setting; for using African artwork as design motifs; and for using African-American actors as the voices for the film characters. If the film succeeds in having African culture accepted by people usually resistant to recognizing any other culture but their own, then it deserves to be noted for this small breach in the racial divide. Nevertheless, in the larger sense, the film diminishes the culturally rich heritage of history and story from which it derives. Sundiata was the 12th son of a king of Mali ...

www.euronews.com Macky Sall shot to his present political height of Senegal's president-elect in a space of 12 years, building on experience. He is originally a geological engineer. He was named minister of mining and energy 11 years ago, then interior minister, and prime minister in 2004. He became chairman of the National Assembly for 2007-2008. Now 50, he led his political career in the shadow of President Wade. He managed Wade's re-election campaign in 2007, as number two in the Senegalese Democratic Party. But Wade was furious when the National Assembly called his son, Karim, to explain his actions at the head of an agency responsible for work surrounding an Islamic summit in Dakar in March of 2007. Wade held it against Sall, and forced him to resign in 2008, not only as Assembly chairman but also from his positions as mayor and parliament member. But Macky Sall was not planning on leaving politics. He formed his own party and ran for the office of national president, with other candidates' support after making it into the second round. Singer Youssou'N Dour was one of them. The Karim Wade affair lent credibility to Sall's self-definition as a republican who resisted nepotism. One typical demonstrator said: "We need change. Everybody knows that if Abdoulaye Wade leaves power it's just to pass it on to his son. To avoid that we need to vote Macky." Sall did not campaign on an anti-Wade platform. Just before the voting, for instance, he talked about working to resolve ...
